A Tesla owner shows his 97-year-old Grandpa a car from the future

In what could be some of the cutest footage of a lovable grandpa discovering the future ever, Carmi loads his grandpa into the car and accelerates. Grandpa, obviously, says that “you need a parachute” to drive this thing.

Tech folks showing their grandparents cool new tech has a historical precedent. I distinctly remember showing my Grandma my Atari 800XL graphics demos and her being impressed or, more likely, bemused at my excitement. Now, however, grandpa can hop in and motor down the street like space astronaut, tapping on a massive screen to turn on the seat heater and the AC or watching the recharger work its magic. It’s a really sweet juxtaposition of the old and new and is a really nice little video for a lazy weekend.
